Ischemic Stroke: Causes and Risks!
Ischemic stroke happens when a blood clot obstruct an artery. In some patients, the clot forms locally inside the blood vessels that supply the brain. This occurs when fatty deposits in an artery or cholesterol plaques rupture and trigger blood clotting. In other cases, a clot may travel to the brain from elsewhere in the body. Most commonly, this happens in patients with atrial fibrillation, a heart condition in which the heart does not pump properly. Blood stagnates in its chambers and this facilitates blood clotting. The clots made and pass into bloodstream get stuck in smaller arteries of the brain and block them.
